I went along to the newsagents quite early as I bought a lucky dip lottery ticket yesterday, haven’t done the lottery for years now, and got three numbers so went to collect my winnings! Went to the shops again a bit later and got some nice things for dessert with some of the bonus money!
I was in church for a couple of hours, Judi was giving her talk about her journey towards heading off to be a nun. It was interesting and I was pleased I was there, stayed to help out with the coffee afterwards.
I finished the fifth book in the Shetland series yesterday, so have started the sixth. Only a couple more after that I think so will have to get the first of the Vera series lined up!
Last week at the fete Tina won a strange bottle of drink and was going to put it back into the next tombola, but I really liked the bottle and Said I would give the melon liqueur a go. I have a little liqueur and a lot of milk and I really like it!
I filled up the watering cans for the front earlier and after dinner used four cans for the essential plants in the front garden and hosed the back which is like a dessert, especially under the trees at the back. Noticed this plant growing in the untended area where Tina does the burning, there are a few, no leaves so the orange really caught my eye!
Going to watch Van Der Valk tonight, will watch it with Darren and Tina, less electricity all watching the same tv!
That’s a very nice sky. I like the mottled effect. Looks ok from ground level too.
ReplyDeleteIt’s always nice to have a lottery win, specially if you only do it rarely. Give it a few more weeks then try again. Maybe it’ll be the jackpot next!
It was good you got to the church for Judi’s talk. I know you get on well with her and you’ll miss her when she goes.
You are a bit of a boozer. Never heard of liqueur in milk before. Can’t imagine that. Nice bottle though.
Think you’ll need more than a few cans if the weather keeps on ad it is. It’ll be a nightmare for you to keep the plants going if there’s a hosepipe ban your way.
Enjoy Van Der Valk. You should get them to watch it with you. Your tv is smaller and cheaper to run 😊
No rain forecast for at least a week and super high temperatures as well. May have to give up and let things die!
ReplyDeleteThe program was good, a really different role for Marc Warren and I think he is great.
Cream liqueur is liqueur with cream so not that much different with milk!
That hadn’t occurred to me about the cream liqueur. Doh!
